Statistic: the us bureau of missing persons reports
that in 1968 over 100,000 people disappeared
leaving no solid clues
nor traceonly
a space
in the lives of their friends. ~ Ishmael Reed
Missing Persons quotes by Ishmael Reed
I can't help wishing that the killer had waited until after this weekend to do him in. Or, better yet, had murdered him somewhere else entirely. Neither the Highland games nor this town needs the bad publicity murder generates."
"I'm sure Jason Graye would have preferred not to be murdered at all. ~ Kaitlyn Dunnett
Missing Persons quotes by Kaitlyn Dunnett
Sometimes it is the person closest to us who must travel the furthest distance to be our friend. ~ Robert Breault
Missing Persons quotes by Robert Breault
Missing Persons was based in Los Angeles. ~ Warren Cuccurullo
Missing Persons quotes by Warren Cuccurullo
Hope is a horrible thing, you know. It's a plague. It's like walking around with a fishhook in your mouth and someone just keep pulling it and pulling it.
STATE OF WONDER ~ Ann Patchett
Missing Persons quotes by Ann Patchett
God knows, I'm no expert on relationships, but I do know when something's good. And this thing we've created between us is precious and rare. I only hope it's not fleeting, because for the first time in my adult life, I've given someone the power to hurt me. ~ Linda Castillo
Missing Persons quotes by Linda Castillo
The person I miss most is the one I could have been. ~ George Bernard Shaw
Missing Persons quotes by George Bernard Shaw
To find my mistakes, you're going to need a shovel - and a missing person's list. ~ Jarod Kintz
Missing Persons quotes by Jarod Kintz
Reports of missing persons have increased sixfold in the last twenty-five years, from roughly 150,000 in 1980 to 900,000 this year . . . More than 2,000 a day. ~ Craig Johnson
Missing Persons quotes by Craig Johnson
I'd like to file a missing person's report - on my clone. It's nearly 2012. He should have been here by now. ~ Jarod Kintz
Missing Persons quotes by Jarod Kintz
So her missing person's poster features a girl with long hair and dreamy eyes that don't see the fracture coming. ~ Helen Oyeyemi
Missing Persons quotes by Helen Oyeyemi
The interesting thing about the feeling of loss when a book is borrowed is that the book's quality rarely matters. So mysterious is the power of books in our lives that every loss is a serious loss, every hole in the shelf a crater. Our books are ourselves, our characters, our insulation against those very people who would take away our books. someone should invent markers for bookcases to note 'missing persons.'
~Roger Rosenblatt, Writer ~ Estelle Ellis
Missing Persons quotes by Estelle Ellis
Listen, Miss, boats are supposed to float. Even if they break up, they usually still float and show up on a shore somewhere. There have been no reports of wreckage or abandoned boats. At this point, no news is still good news. Don't worry. It's too early to worry. ~ Cathy Ostlere
Missing Persons quotes by Cathy Ostlere
When you're fighting with a stunt person, your intent is to miss. ~ Victoria Pratt
Missing Persons quotes by Victoria Pratt
I'm sorry,' said Silyen, barely glancing up from his book. 'I'm a prodigy of Skill, not a missing persons' database. ~ Vic James
Missing Persons quotes by Vic James
Madoka: Won't anyone notice that Mami-san is dead?
Homura: Mami Tomoe's only relatives are distant relations. It will be quite some time before anyone files a missing persons report. When one dies on that side of the wards, not even a body is left behind. She'll wind up forever a "missing person" ... That is what happens to magical girls in the end.
Madoka: ... That's too cruel! Mami-san has been fighting all alone for a long time for everyone's sake! For no one to even notice that she's gone ... That's just too lonely a fate ...
Homura: It is just that kind of contract that gives us the power in the first place. It isn't for anyone else's sake. We fight on for the sake of our own prayer. So for no one to notice ... for the world to forget us ... That is just something we have to accept. ~ Magica Quartet
Missing Persons quotes by Magica Quartet
Last night I thought I kissed

the loneliness from out your belly button.
I thought I did, but later you sat up,
all bones and restless hands, and told me
there is a knot in your body that I cannot undo.

I never know what to say to these things.
"It's okay." "Come back to bed."
"Please don't go away again."

Sometimes you are gone for days at a time
and it is all I can do not to call the police,
file a missing person's report, even though
you are right there, still sleeping next to me
in bed. But your eyes are like an empty house
in winter: lights left on to scare away intruders.

Except in this case I am the intruder and you
are already locked up so tight that no one
could possibly jimmy their way in.

Last night I thought I gave you a reason
not to be so sad when I held your body like
a high note and we both trembled from the effort.

Some people, though, are sad against all reason,
all sensibility, all love. I know better now.
I know what to say to the things you admit to me
in the dark, all bones and restless hands.

"It's okay." "You can stay in bed."
"Please come back to me again. ~ Donna-Marie Riley
Missing Persons quotes by Donna-Marie Riley
Nelson Mandela is awe inspiring - a person who really sacrificed for what he believed in. I feel truly humbled by him. ~ Annie Lennox
Missing Persons quotes by Annie Lennox
This weapon [an ax] is primitive but effective. And it's also guaranteed to be fifty-percent painless. You see, it takes two people to operate, and the person at this end [the handle] doesn't feel a thing. ~ Alfred Hitchcock
Missing Persons quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
"Ah, Miss, hope is an excellent thing for such as has the spirits to bear it!" said Mrs Wickam, shaking her head. "My own spirits is not equal to it, but I don't owe it any grudge. I envys them that is so blest!" ~ Charles Dickens
Missing Persons quotes by Charles Dickens
Maybe it was the converse of the way amputees feel pain in a missing limb. He really was there all those years, a flesh-and-blood presence streaming off the wallpaper, digging up the dogwoods, polishing the finials... smelling of sawdust and sweat and designer cologne. But I ached as if he were already gone. ~ Alison Bechdel
Missing Persons quotes by Alison Bechdel
God is concerned with our imaginations, for they in a large measure determine what kind of persons we are to be. ~ Billy Graham
Missing Persons quotes by Billy Graham
The true measure of a person's character is how one handles one's failures, not successes. ~ Bill Courtney
Missing Persons quotes by Bill Courtney
It has been my experience that competency in mathematics, both in numerical manipulations and in understanding its conceptual foundations, enhances a person's ability to handle the more ambiguous and qualitative relationships that dominate our day-to-day financial decision-making ~ Alan Greenspan
Missing Persons quotes by Alan Greenspan
The real gnostic does not attribute any "state" to himself, for he is without ambition and without ostentation; he has a tendency rather
through an "instinct for holding back"
to disguise his nature inasmuch as he has, in any case, awareness of "cosmic play" (lila) and it is hard for him to take secular and worldly persons seriously, that is to say, "horizontal" beings who are full of self-confidence and who remain, "humanists" that they are, below the vocation of man ~ Frithjof Schuon
Missing Persons quotes by Frithjof Schuon
People who read literary fiction (as opposed to popular fiction or nonfiction) were better able to detect another person's emotions, and the theory proposed was that literary fiction engages the reader in a process of decoding the characters' thoughts and motives in a way that popular fiction and nonfiction, being less complex, do not. ~ Daniel J. Levitin
Missing Persons quotes by Daniel J. Levitin
[An educated person:] One who voluntarily does more thinking than is necessary for his own survival. ~ Mildred H. McAfee
Missing Persons quotes by Mildred H. McAfee
Whose meditation is real and effective? Who can really surrender to the will of God? Only the person whose mind has been purified by selfless work. ~ Swami Vivekananda
Missing Persons quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Leon was weary of loving without any result; moreover he was beginning to feel that depression caused by the repetition of the same kind of life, when no interest inspires and no hope sustains it. He was so bored with Yonville and its inhabitants, that the sight of certain persons, of certain houses, irritated him beyond endurance; and the chemist, good fellow though he was, was becoming absolutely unbearable to him. Yet the prospect of a new condition of life frightened as much as it seduced him. ~ Gustave Flaubert
Missing Persons quotes by Gustave Flaubert
Everybody kind of gets to be the person they didn't get to be. ~ Tina Fey
Missing Persons quotes by Tina Fey
Ever absent, ever near;
Still I see thee, still I hear;
Yet I cannot reach thee, dear! ~ Ferenc Kazinczy
Missing Persons quotes by Ferenc Kazinczy
A state is an association of similar persons whose aim is the best life possible. What is best is happiness, and to be happy is an active exercise of virtue and a complete employment of it. ~ Aristotle.
Missing Persons quotes by Aristotle.
There are far more important things in life than making a putt or missing a putt or winning a championship or losing a championship. ~ Bernhard Langer
Missing Persons quotes by Bernhard Langer
the fact of not being understood by others had been my sole source of pride since my early youth, and I had not the slightest impulse to express myself in such a way that I might be understood. When I did try to clarify my thoughts and actions, I did so with no consideration whatsoever. I do not know whether or not this was because I wanted to understand myself. Such a motive is in accord with a person's real character and comes automatically to form a bridge between himself and others ~ Yukio Mishima
Missing Persons quotes by Yukio Mishima
You know what I miss? More than anything? Coffee.
Plutarch Heavensbee ~ Suzanne Collins
Missing Persons quotes by Suzanne Collins
Many great works of art, poetry, and music are inspired by astral memories. The desire to do noble, beautiful things here on Earth is also often a carryover of astral experiences between a person's earth lives. ~ Paramahansa Yogananda
Missing Persons quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
At the root of our civilization, there is the freedom of each person of thought, of belief, of opinion, of work, of leisure. ~ Charles De Gaulle
Missing Persons quotes by Charles De Gaulle
But God!Who could live like this , anyway, with the kind of guesswork that was enough to make a person crazy, just sailing along, taking bumps here and there, no course navigated whatsoever, with any big wave capable of just tipping and sinking you entirely. IT was madness, stipidity, and- (then I saw him) ~ Sarah Dessen
Missing Persons quotes by Sarah Dessen
A writing exercise from a school in ancient Mesopotamia discovered by modern archaeologists gives us a glimpse into the lives of these students, some 4,000 years ago: I went in and sat down, and my teacher read my tablet. He said, 'There's something missing!' And he caned me. One of the people in charge said, 'Why did you open your mouth without my permission?' And he caned me. The one in charge of rules said, 'Why did you get up without my permission?' And he caned me. The gatekeeper said, 'Why are you going out without my permission?' And he caned me. The keeper of the beer jug said, 'Why did you get some without my permission?' And he caned me. The Sumerian teacher said, 'Why did you speak Akkadian?'fn1 And he caned me. My teacher said, 'Your handwriting is no good!' And he caned me.4 ~ Yuval Noah Harari
Missing Persons quotes by Yuval Noah Harari
About belief or lack of belief in an afterlife: Some of you may know that I am neither Christian nor Jewish nor Buddist, nor a conventionally religious person of any sort. I am a humanist, which mean, in part, that I have tried to behave decently without any expectation of rewards or punishments after I'm dead. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
Missing Persons quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
To appreciate heaven well, it's good for a person to have some fifteen minutes of hell. ~ Will Carleton
Missing Persons quotes by Will Carleton
The nursery rhyme ends when a spider comes along and frightens Miss Muffet straight off her tuffet. I have wondered about what kind of lesson this is for a young girl. If you're eating your curds and whey and a spider comes along, I don't think there's anything wrong with picking up a newspaper, smashing it, and going back to your breakfast. ~ Sloane Crosley
Missing Persons quotes by Sloane Crosley
I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. ~ Maya Angelou
Missing Persons quotes by Maya Angelou
An educated person's ideas of Art are drwan naturally from what Art has been, whereas the new work of art is beautiful by being what Art has never been; and to measure it by the standard of the past is to measure it by a standard on the rejection of which its real perfection depends. ~ Oscar Wilde
Missing Persons quotes by Oscar Wilde
From Sextus, a benevolent disposition, and the example of a family governed in a fatherly manner, and the idea of living conformably to nature; and gravity without affectation, and to look carefully after the interests of friends, and to tolerate ignorant persons, and those who form opinions without consideration: ~ Marcus Aurelius
Missing Persons quotes by Marcus Aurelius
Are the Trials starting?" The girl claps her hands over her mouth. "I'm sorry," she whispers. "I - "

"It's all right." I don't smile at her. It will only scare her. For a female slave, a smile from a Mask is not usually a good thing. "I'm actually wondering the same thing. What's your name?"

"S-slave-Girl." Of course. My mother would already have scourged her name out of existence.

"Right. You work for the Commandant?" I want her to say no. I want her to say that my mother roped her into this. I want her to say she's assigned to the kitchens or infirmary, where slaves aren't scarred or missing body parts.

But the girl nods in response to my question. Don't let my mother break you, I think. The girl meets my eyes, and there is that feeling again, low and hot and consuming. Don't be weak. Fight. Escape.

A gust of wind whips a strand free from her bun and across her cheekbone. Defiance flashes across her face as she holds my gaze, and for a second, I see my own desire for freedom mirrored, intensified in her eyes. It's something I've never detected in the eyes of a fellow student, let alone a Scholar slave. For one strange moment, I feel less alone.

But then she looks down, and I wonder at my own naiveté. She can't fight. She can't scape. Not from Blackcliff. I smile joylessly; in this, at least, the slave and I are more similar than she'll ever know. ~ Sabaa Tahir
Missing Persons quotes by Sabaa Tahir
Of all forms of government and society, those of free men and women are in many respects the most brittle. They give the fullest freedom for activities of private persons and groups who often identify their own interests, essentially selfish, with the general welfare. ~ Dorothy Thompson
Missing Persons quotes by Dorothy Thompson
How English you are, Basil! If one puts
forward an idea to a real Englishman, - always a rash
thing to do, - he never dreams of considering whether the
idea is right or wrong. The only thing he considers of any
importance is whether one believes it one's self. Now, the
value of an idea has nothing whatsoever to do with the
sincerity of the man who expresses it. Indeed, the
probabilities are that the more insincere the man is, the more purely intellectual will the idea be, as in that case it
will not be colored by either his wants, his desires, or his
prejudices. However, I don't propose to discuss politics,
sociology, or metaphysics with you. I like persons better
than principles. Tell me more about Dorian Gray. How
often do you see him? ~ Oscar Wilde
Missing Persons quotes by Oscar Wilde
But you haven't never loved God nor even nair person. You hard and tough as cowhide. But just the same I knows you. This afternoon you going to roam all over the place without never being satisfied. You going to traipse all around like you haves to find something lost. You going to work yourself up with excitement. Your heart going to beat hard enough to kill you because you don't love and don't have peace. And then some day you going to bust loose and be ruined. ~ Carson McCullers
Missing Persons quotes by Carson McCullers
Superstition, in all times and among all nations, is the fear of a spirit whose passions are those of a man, whose acts are the acts of a man; who is present in some places, not in others; who makes no places holy and not others; who is kind to one person, unkind to another; who is pleased or angry according to the degree of attention you pay him, or praise you refuse to him; who is hostile generally to human pleasure, but may be bribed by sacrifice of a part of that pleasure into permitting the rest. This, whatever form of faith it colors, is the essence of superstition. ~ John Ruskin
Missing Persons quotes by John Ruskin
Some of the test subjects were given cards that had both words printed in full, like this:
Hot: Cold
Others used cards that showed only the first letter of the second word, like this:
Hot: C
The people who used the cards with the missing letters performed much better in a subsequent test measuring how well they remembered the word pairs. Simply forcing their minds to fill in a blank, to act rather than observe, led to stronger retention of information. ~ Nicholas Carr
Missing Persons quotes by Nicholas Carr
Autonomy, Purpose, & Mastery: If you are having difficulty creating the life you want, chances are one or more of these are missing. ~ Bill Crawford
Missing Persons quotes by Bill Crawford
I don't ever want to be a person that I'm not. A lot of girls fall into the trap where they are trying to impress other people, and that's the time when they lose themselves. ~ Kate Upton
Missing Persons quotes by Kate Upton
To do this, you can bring in nothing from the past. So the more psychology you've studied, the harder it will be to empathize. The more you know the person, the harder it will be to empathize. Diagnoses and past experiences can instantly knock you off the board. This doesn't mean denying the past. Past experiences can stimulate what's alive in this moment. But are you present to what was alive then or what the person is feeling and needing in this moment? ~ Marshall B. Rosenberg
Missing Persons quotes by Marshall B. Rosenberg
And she told me the same thing, she said that when I came back in the winter, she was going to miss missing me ... ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Missing Persons quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
A wicked person, swayed by evil motives and evil actions, is described as a demon. ~ Sathya Sai Baba
Missing Persons quotes by Sathya Sai Baba
If the egalitarian wishes to realise his ideal, given the unpromising nature of his material, he might consider rendering all persons equally dead, for perhaps only thus could he eradicate any difference. ~ D. Michael Quinn
Missing Persons quotes by D. Michael Quinn
One person's crazy is another person's sane, I guess. ~ Maureen Johnson
Missing Persons quotes by Maureen Johnson
In person, if possible, Anubis was even more drop-dead gorgeous. [Oh ... ha, ha. I didn't catch the pun, but thank you, Carter. God of the dead, drop-dead gorgeous. Yes, hilarious. Now, may I continue?] ~ Rick Riordan
Missing Persons quotes by Rick Riordan
Being about to land on the soil of North Carolina, the general commanding desires his soldiers to remember that they are here to support the Constitution and the laws, to put down rebellion, and to protect the persons and property of the loyal and peaceable citizens of the State. ~ Ambrose Burnside
Missing Persons quotes by Ambrose Burnside
The more things you do, the more you can do. ~ Lucille Ball
Missing Persons quotes by Lucille Ball
There are some things that, if you say them out loud, will hurt the other person's feelings. I tend to say them anyway. It's better to be honest. ~ Katherine Heigl
